These wool bottoms are great. They're not itchy. They wick moisture. And they won't stink after you sweat in them. My only complaint is that they're too big at the bottom and there's excess material below my calf. I love the covert pocket.

Sigh, I think the good people at Arc'Teryx made these bottoms for the starting lineup of the Vancouver Grizzlies. They arrived way too long, even in size small. I had to return them for the Rho Bootcut pair, and even those reach all the way to my ankles. I am fired up about the Rho bottoms though, wool is def the best way to go for insulation.
